Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign
manager Kent Snyder has slammed Fox News' decision to
bar the Congressman from a live televised January 6 forum
as "an insult" and has urged supporters to boycott
Fox sponsors if they follow through on their promise to
exclude Dr. Paul.

Speaking on The Alex Jones Show, Snyder
described Fox News' excuse for not inviting the Congressman,
that they don't have enough room, as "lame".

"I can't imagine Fox News not having
enough room in a studio for another participant so that's
just lame and it just goes to show exactly what they are
doing, they don't have any any more legitimate or rational
excuse than that," he said.

"It's unfortunate and that's being kind,"
said Snyder, "We definitely think Dr. Paul should
be included because of his historic fundraising, interest
in his campaign is growing by the day," he added.

Snyder said that if things went went
for Paul in Iowa today then Fox News would be forced to
include Paul in the forum, adding that the decision to
bar him was a slap in the face, an insult, and a deliberate
attempt to squelch the momentum of the freedom movement,
but cautioned that the campaign and its supporters "were
not going away" as the establishment wished they
would.

The forum takes place just two days before
the watershed New Hampshire Primary.

Paul has been excluded from many major
online polls in the last few months and was also initially
blocked from attending a Republican presidential forum
in Des Moines Iowa in June.

Snyder agreed that people should boycott
Fox News' sponsors if Paul is indeed blocked from participating
in the presidential forum.

"I think boycotts are always effective
in a lot of different situations and that's something
that the individual consumer can do and I would encourage
them to express their disappointment and anger in that
way," said Snyder.
